Poll: Are Wars a Financial Attack on Americans? [View all]

In the end, we wind up paying for them, not the wealthy.

Estimated cost of Iraq & Afghanistan is now up to 10 Trillion, or MOST of our national debt.

Yet, the wealthy, war profiteers and corporations are taxed less and less, if at all.

So, it seems to me that in the end, war is a financial attack on Americans, as much as it is a physical attack on the people of whatever country they feel like attacking this week (Syria, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, wherever).
